F.R. Berry Reserve

2.6 km return

45 min to 1 h 15 min

Starting from Reen Road, Gidgegannup, this walk takes you to the foreshore of Wooroloo Brook and back. The saturated red colour of the rocks and the lovely cascades create a rather unique scenery.

You'll have a chance to see the endangered Carnaby's Cockatoo as you make your way through Marri, Wandoo and Jarrah trees. Some plant species native to this area cannot be seen anywhere else in the whole world. Keep in mind that the track can become slippery and steep in parts as you get closer to the foreshore. Dogs are allowed on lead. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wajuk people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from Noble Falls car park, Gidgegannup, this circuit walk takes you to Noble Falls and back, crossing Wooroloo Brook multiple times along the way. Expect a picturesque journey full of birds and other wildlife, complemented by wildflowers such as orchids and kangaroo paws.

Bells Rapids Loop

3.9 km circuit

1 h 15 min to 2 h

Starting from the car park on Cathedral Avenue, off the Great Northern Highway, Brigadoon, this walk takes you on a circuit along Swan River via the Goat and Riverwalk tracks. The star point of the walk are Bells Rapids, a perfect spot for picniking and enjoying a lovely day out in the nature. The walk takes you along the bridge that crosses the Swan River and offers great views over the rapids. If you decide to go swimming be careful of the strong undercurrents. There are many fantastic vantage points along the trail to stop and the countryside and coastal plains. There are several rock pools along the river that make for an inviting dip on a hot day. This walk can get quite steep and rocky at points, and some sections aren't well marked. Although the climbs aren't long, the gradient will surely get the blood pumping. And take your four-legged friend with you. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Kangaroo Trail

4 km circuit

1 h 30 min to 2 h

Starting from the Walyunga Pool Carpark off Walyunga Road, Walyunga National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit past Walyunga Pool, Boongarup Pool and alongside the Swan River via the Kangaroo Trail. With rich Indigenous history, tree-filled valleys and the cooling waters of the Swan River, Walyunga National Park is one of Perth's best-kept secrets. The Swan River draws many people to the park as it is a permanent, scenic river with flat granite boulders around it. The Kangaroo Trail is an excellent loop trail that crosses creeks among granite outcrops with their specially adapted plants and small animals, like geckoes and lizards. Passing by Walyunga Pool, Boongarup Pool, through bushland and alongside the Swan River, there is plenty to see on this walk. You'll love crossing creeks, boulder-jumping and wildflower hunting as you climb the hill from Boongarup Pool. After the challenging but rewarding ascent to the top of Woodsome Hill, you'll have excellent views of the Swan River Valley. Aside from some short but steep rocky hills, this trail is relatively easy. The trail is marked by green footprints and yellow triangles with kangaroos in them. The markers are most visible when walking in an anticlockwise direction. You can spot some roos (slang term for kangaroos) in the afternoon along & around the riverbank. Like many walks in Perth, the Kangaroo Trail is at its prettiest in winter or spring when the river is flowing, the grass is green, and the wildflowers are blooming. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Syd's Rapids and Aboriginal Heritage Trail

5.3 km return

1 h to 1 h 30 min

Syd's Rapids and Aboriginal Heritage Trail

Starting from the Walyunga Pool Carpark off Walyunga Road, Walyunga National Park, this walk leads to Syd's Rapids and back via the Syd's Rapids and Aboriginal Heritage Trail. Walyunga National Park sits on the very rim of the Darling Scarp, and protects nearly 1,800 hectares of virgin bushland and its resident native animals. Just to the east of the park, in the picturesque Avon Valley, the Avon River joins the Brockman River to form the Swan River which passes through the tree lined valley. The Swan-Avon River runs through the centre of the park, forming a string of placid pools along the valley floor in summer, and a raging torrent with long series of rapids in winter. The area is a popular location for whitewater rafting and canoeing, and the Avon Descent runs through here over the first weekend of August, with Syd's Rapids being a good spot for spectators. The park is also known for sensational wildflowers in winter and spring. Visit Walyunga National Park after some rain for the most incredible rapids display to complement the rugged valley scenery. The walk to Syd's Rapids is a gentle, mostly flat hike along the river's edge, suitable for first timers and families. The trail reveals the aboriginal myths, stories and traditional uses of the river, landscape and local fauna and flora in this beautiful location. There is ample parking at the main picnic sites, and facilities include toilets, gas barbecues and picnic tables. With a combination of beautiful views, national park scenery, an abundance of flora and fauna, cultural history, and a chance for some wildlife spotting, this is a great adventure for the curious hiker. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the car park just south of the McNess House Visitor Centre, Yanchep National Park, this walk takes you on a multi-day journey.

There are also water tanks, but they can be empty during the dry season. It is recommended you bring as much as possible.
